Today, finite element technologies allow engineers to analyze complex assemblies and subsystems. With CPU power constantly increasing, it is not unreasonable to state that the eng...
We present a model-checking algorithm which can be used to evaluate access control policies, and a tool which implements it. The evaluation includes not only assessing whether the ...
Dynamic provisioning systems change application capacity in order to use enough resources to accommodate current load. Rejuvenation systems detect/forecast software failures and te...

This paper presents an analytical model to compute the average service time and jitter experienced by a packet when transmitted in a saturated IEEE 802.11 ad hoc network. In contr...
The distinction between safety and liveness properties is due to Lamport who gave the following informal characterization. Safety properties assert that nothing bad ever happens w...
